The Fall
Mind.In.A.Box (Broken Legacies) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Preaching a kind of hope
But the sky clouded over
And it rained
In the distance I hear thunder
Screaming out for peace
Its voice is never heard
Oh its true
A little rain must fall
And thunder storms before
Before the summer comes
Now the book that lies before me
Is open, yet unread
I cannot think now
In the rain
The tide is slowly turning
Although it has not yet returned
It stops and looks round
As summer comes
Oh its true
A little rain must fall
And thunder storms before
Before the summer comes
In a flood of adoration
I gazed upon your face
But you turned into a memory
Only a trace
And so the cause of my ill feeling
Is that I tasted the summer sun
And as I reached out
The sun had gone
Oh it's true
A little rain must fall
And thunder storms before
Before the summer comes
Summer comes
Summer comes
The lyrics to Mind.In.A.Box's (Broken Legacies) song The Fall convey a sense of disappointment and betrayal. The sun was shining for a few days, offering a glimpse of hope, but it was short-lived. The sky soon clouded over, and a storm descended, leaving behind only the sound of thunder. Despite the thunder's cry for peace, its voice goes unheard amidst the rain.
The repeated refrain, "A little rain must fall, and thunder storms before, before the summer comes," serves as a reminder that the tough times will come before the good times. The idea of cyclicality is also present in the song's lyrical tone, with the "tide slowly turning" and "summer coming" after a period of struggle.
The song seems to be discussing a relationship that fell apart, possibly because of betrayal. The songwriter regretfully reflects on a time when they were "in a flood of adoration" with someone, only to have them disappear like the summer sun they couldn't quite reach. The final line, "summer comes," may be an expression of hope that someday, that brightness and warmth will return.
Line by Line Meaning
For a few days the sun was shining
Hope was present in my life for a brief moment
Preaching a kind of hope
The positivity felt like it was trying to encourage me
But the sky clouded over
Suddenly, things felt worse again
And it rained
My negativity persisted and became stronger
In the distance I hear thunder
A potential for conflict or negativity is on the horizon
Screaming out for peace
Despite the negativity, a desire for calm is still present
Its voice is never heard
This peaceful desire is often drowned out by negativity
Above the rain
In the midst of persistent negativity
Oh its true
This statement is certainly accurate
A little rain must fall
Negativity is a normal and unavoidable part of life
And thunder storms before
Conflicts or challenges often happen before things improve
Before the summer comes
Before the good times come again
Now the book that lies before me
The future is uncertain and unknown
Is open, yet unread
The potential for good or bad outcomes is still there
I cannot think now
The uncertainty is overwhelming and distracting
In the rain
In the midst of negativity
The tide is slowly turning
Things are starting to change for the better
Although it has not yet returned
The good times are not here yet
It stops and looks round
There is a moment of pause and reflection
As summer comes
As the good times approach
In a flood of adoration
I was overwhelmed with love and positivity
I gazed upon your face
I was captivated and enamored by you
But you turned into a memory
The love and positivity did not last
Only a trace
There is just a faint reminder of what once was
And so the cause of my ill feeling
The reason for my current negativity is
Is that I tasted the summer sun
I experienced happiness and positivity before
And as I reached out
But when I tried to hold onto it
The sun had gone
The positivity disappeared
Summer comes
Better times are approaching
Summer comes
A reminder that good times will come again
